The meeting arose out of uncertainty surrounding HM Revenue and Customs Stamp Taxes’ current approach to the availability of Stamp Duty Land Tax group relief, and in particular the application of the targeted anti-avoidance rule in Finance Act 2003 Schedule 7 paragraph 2(4A), in the context of intra-group asset transfers following corporate acquisitions.
